Description
As service providers move to providing bundled voice, video and data (high speed internet) to residential consumers they need to verify the in-home wiring can carry the service to the appropriate location in the home. IPTV verified to the network demarcation point does not mean a great quality of experience at the high-definition TV! Providers must balance the need to deliver a high quality of service with the need to reuse existing cabling. This webinar examines the technologies available to create a connected home, and the test issues surrounding them.

What will you learn:
how to reduce the risks associated with the triple play services, increase the speed of deployment and move on to the next job quickly, and improve reliability and performance, keeping your customers satisfied and happy.

Most importantly, it will help you save money, both during installation and in reduced customer service calls.

The webinar also covers:

  • Pros and cons of various in-home networking technologies, including MoCA, HPNA, HomePlug, and Ethernet
  • Splitter detection
  • The need for Fiber Inspection, Cleaning and Test at the NID/ONT
  • Basic Cabling tests, such as mapping the home, length, and wiremap
  • Advanced tests, including verifying IP services with Ping and verifying voice services
Who should attend: Field service technicians, Operations Managers, network, cable and telephone installers.
